Recognizing the complexity and challenges of its operating environments, Ferrovial has developed a clear understanding of the potential and actual impacts on its workforce, using this knowledge to adapt its strategy and shape its future.
The Company’s operations carry inherent risks, particularly in sectors such as construction and infrastructure management. Health and safety is a top priority, given the potential for work-related accidents or injuries. These risks are carefully managed through robust safety protocols and ongoing training. While negative incidents such as individual accidents are not systemic within Ferrovial’s operations, the Company treats each occurrence with the utmost seriousness, implementing measures to prevent recurrence and minimize potential reputational, operational, and financial risks. To address these risks, Ferrovial has integrated rigorous safety standards and monitoring systems into all projects, ensuring compliance and care for its workforce.
But it is not just about mitigating risks; it is also about seizing opportunities. Ferrovial sees its people as a source of strength and innovation. Programs focused on professional development, such as leadership development programs, enable employees to grow alongside the Company.

The Company’s energy transition strategies, present new opportunities for job creation, upskilling, and professional growth. Employees are empowered to adapt to new roles, particularly in energy transition projects and technological innovations, ensuring that they remain integral to Ferrovial’s evolving mission.
Throughout this journey, Ferrovial leaves no room for practices that violate fundamental rights. Its operations are free from the risk of forced or child labor, backed by a comprehensive due diligence process that ensures compliance in all regions. This diligence reflects the Company’s unwavering commitment to ethical practices and the well-being of its workforce.
Ferrovial understands that certain groups within its workforce face unique risks and opportunities. Younger employees benefit from structured development programs, while workers in high-risk environments receive enhanced safety measures tailored to their needs. Employees engaged in cutting-edge projects, such as digital infrastructure, are offered opportunities to improve their skills and contribute to transformative initiatives.

Ferrovial’s workforce is at the heart of its operations and success. In recognition of this, the Company has developed a comprehensive approach to human rights, inclusion, and employee engagement that integrates respect for international standards, structured worker participation mechanisms, and specific measures addressing vulnerable groups. This holistic framework ensures that the well-being, rights, and effective participation of employees are prioritized in all aspects of its operations.
A key pillar of this approach is the systematic inclusion of workers’ perspectives in decision-making related to managing actual and potential impacts on workers. Ferrovial has activated mechanisms to actively engage employees and their representatives, ensuring that their views meaningfully contribute to shaping policies and addressing challenges. Through structured initiatives such as climate surveys, risk assessments, and performance evaluations, employees can provide valuable feedback, which is subsequently discussed with managers to propose improvements. The Company’s individual and collective representative bodies, including staff representatives, union sections and committees, as well as the Social Dialogue and Negotiation Committee with the legal representatives of the workers, ensure ongoing dialogue between the Company and its employees and the defense of their fair and legitimate rights and interests.
At the same time, Ferrovial’s institutional participation through the Negotiating Committees for Collective Agreements applicable to its employees in the different sectors and activities in which it operates not only ensures strict compliance with workers’ rights, but also transparency and alignment with all labor issues and matters that affect them. By way of example, Ferrovial signed a commitment to the International Federation/Alliance of the most representative trade unions in the sector (Framework Agreement). The Framework Agreement acknowledges the decisive role of the trade unions involved in the infrastructure sector in which Ferrovial operates globally and ensures compliance with the applicable regulations and legislation in the countries where it operates. These legal frameworks guarantee workers’ participation in company policies through collective bargaining.
At the same time, compliance mechanisms, such as the Ethics Channel, ensure that employees have access to a confidential and anonymous platform to raise concerns, with explicit protections against retaliation, thereby reinforcing confidence in the process. The main mechanisms established are as follows:
| Description | Responsible party | |
| Opinion and climate surveys | Objective: To gather information on employee job satisfaction, corporate culture, and belonging and inclusion.
Coordinated by the Culture and Engagement function, Ferrovial conducts annual employee satisfaction surveys among its professionals, which include 32 indicators related to satisfaction, loyalty, happiness, culture, belonging, and inclusion, along with two open-ended questions that allow employees to make suggestions on an anonymous basis. Once this information has been collected, specific action plans are defined for each business unit. Social dialogue at Ferrovial is ongoing, covering both regularly scheduled commitments and ad hoc commitments required by labor regulations, as well as those initiated by the Company or employee representatives whenever necessary. Ferrovial conducts annual workforce satisfaction surveys that include aspects such as sense of belonging, professional development, compensation, reputation, work experience, culture and inclusion. Ferrovial continues to strengthen the role of managers as key actors responsible for the work environment and team engagement, providing them with tools to analyze and improve them. The latest survey, conducted in December 2025, achieved a participation rate of 78.17% and an overall satisfaction score of 7.9 out of 10. |
Human Resources |
| Risk assessments and results | Objective: To include feedback meetings with managers to address individual and collective concerns. | Human Resources |
| Legal representation of workers (RLT) | Objective: to channel individual and collective requests through staff representatives, Works Councils, and Trade Union Sections.
The social dialogue process is conducted at various levels of collective bargaining: At the sectoral level (construction, industry, and water sectors), through participation in negotiating tables and joint committees at both the national and regional levels, as Ferrovial is recognized as one of the most representative companies in its fields of activity. At the Company level, through ongoing dialogue with trade union branches and formal negotiation processes with the various collective and individual representative bodies, including works councils and staff representatives. Although collective bargaining represents the formal basis of this dialogue, these mechanisms also serve as day-to-day communication channels to address employee concerns and ensure employee involvement in all labor policies that affect them. |
Human Resources |
| Ethics Channel | The process is managed by the Compliance function, with the support of Internal Audit in the analysis of certain priority communications, to ensure the timely and effective resolution of reports to the Ethics Channel. The Chief Compliance Officer reports on a quarterly basis to the Audit and Control Committee and annually to the Board of Directors. | Compliance and Human Resources |
Effectiveness assessment. The effectiveness of collaboration is measured through:
Regarding specific measures to promote gender equality in Spain, Ferrovial has implemented more than 60 equality measures, which fall within the following areas of action:
Compliance with the measures is monitored through audits conducted by the Equality Committee and through the results of employee opinion surveys, which include specific questions on belonging and inclusion.
Furthermore, Ferrovial does not apply a specific classification of vulnerable workers, as the Company ensures that everyone’s needs are heard and addressed through established listening and engagement mechanisms. These procedures allow all employees to share their perspectives, which are then taken into account. These listening mechanisms are strictly confidential; therefore, no identification or segregation of individuals as vulnerable is carried out.
Employees can communicate their concerns to the HR Department, their line manager, the Compliance Department or to the Ethics Channel.
The Company provides its employees and other stakeholders with an Ethics Channel, a confidential system that allows, if the reporter so wishes, reporting on an anonymous basis in accordance with applicable legislation, to facilitate the communication of any possible irregularities, breaches, or behavior contrary to law or Ferrovial’s ethical policies and procedures, including in particular possible cases of fraud or corruption, anti competitive practices, human rights violations, financial and tax matters, or damage to the environment, always safeguarding their identity and with zero tolerance for any possible retaliation. Matters related to Ferrovial SE’s accounting, internal accounting controls, auditing, or questionable financial practices may also be reported, as well as any alleged misconduct by members of the Board of Directors, all of which are considered “Priority Communications” under the Ethics Channel policy. Priority communications are handled by the Compliance Department and in some cases by Internal Audit Department. Accounting Complaints, however, are handled by the Audit and Control Committee together with the Compliance Department. Those communications involving actual or alleged misconduct by the Board will be handled by the Chair of the Audit and Control Committee.
All communications are handled objectively and diligently in accordance with the Ethics Channel Policy. Throughout the process, the right of those involved are respected, particularly the presumption of innocence. Likewise, Ferrovial has zero tolerance policy towards retaliation against any person who reports to the Ethics Channel in good faith or takes part in the investigation thereof.
Communications are screened by the Compliance Department and handled by the Management Body that best suited to the circumstances, taking into account , independence, and absence of conflicts of interest among those responsible for the investigation. To assist the teams that may be involved in this task in their respective areas of expertise, the Compliance Department has developed an Investigations Guide. In addition, training sessions have been held for the Compliance Network to ensure the diligent handling of all communications and respect for the individuals involved.
The Compliance Department periodically reviews communications that have already been closed to prevent possible cases of retaliation.
The Chief Compliance Officer reports on a quarterly basis to the Audit and Control Committee and annually to the Board of Directors regarding the communications received and the measures adopted in relation to them.
The Ethics Channel can be accessed by telephone, intranet, or the corporate website (https://Ferrovial.com). In addition, specific reporting channels have been established in some Group companies for reasons of legal necessity.
Further information on communications received is available through the Ethics Channel (See ESRS G1-1, section “Ethics Channel”, for further details).
The communication management process and the possibility of communicating with the reporter will be described in more detail in the Secure correspondence section.
Once received, communications are handled and processed securely to protect the confidentiality of (i) the identity of the reporting person(s) and any third party mentioned, and (ii) the actions taken during the handling and processing of the communication. They are also managed in a way that safeguards personal data and prevents unauthorized access. Investigations are conducted objectively, fairly, and diligently, in line with internal procedures and applicable laws.
The reporting person and the Management Body may contact each other through the Ethics Channel (secure correspondence section), which allows confidential communication to be maintained, even where the report is anonymous, in order to request additional information or clarification on the information reported and to ensure that the reporting person is kept informed of the progress of the case and the measures adopted. This communication operates bidirectionally, so the reporting person or the Management Body can contact each other if necessary. Finally, the reporting person is informed of the closure and outcome of the case.
Awareness of and trust in the Ethics Channel are assessed through satisfaction surveys conducted at the end of mandatory training courses. The latest survey was launched in 2025 with the refresher training course on the Code of Ethics, and the results showed that 95.5% are aware of the existence of the Ethics Channel, 98,1% know that concerns or irregularities can also be reported to their manager or to HR Department , and 97.05% are aware that Ferrovial has a zero-tolerance policy against any form of retaliation against individuals who submit a communication in good faith.
The corrective measures adopted are mainly disciplinary actions (including dismissal), training programs, or changes to internal processes or procedures, all in accordance with applicable internal procedures, collective bargaining agreements, and applicable legislation. The regulatory framework applicable in the different jurisdictions in which Ferrovial operates is also taken into account.
Once corrective measures have been implemented, the management bodies responsible for handling communications are required to monitor the application of the different measures, as well as to monitor the individuals concerned to confirm that no retaliation occurs.
The Ethics Channel is managed by the Compliance Department through a third-party IT tool for submission and management of all communications. Those responsible for managing communications will have access to the IT tool, as appropriate, which also serves as a repository for all communications received.
In addition, there is a suggestion box available on the Company’s intranet, managed by HR, so that employees can send their suggestions and requests directly to the HR Department.
All communications are handled objectively and with due diligence in accordance with the Ethics Channel Policy and the policy for the management of inquiries, complaints, and reports. Investigations are conducted objectively, fairly, thoroughly, and with due diligence, as well as with the utmost care and consideration, pursuant to internal procedures and applicable laws. The independence and absence of conflicts of interest in the process is ensured to the fullest extent possible. Throughout the process, the rights of those involved are respected to the greatest extent possible, including the presumption of innocence and the honor of the person concerned. Likewise, the absence of retaliation is guaranteed to all reporters acting in good faith and to those participating in the investigation of communications.
It should also be noted that Ferrovial has a Global Anti-Harassment and Anti-Discrimination Policy and a Harassment Prevention protocol in place to ensure dignified and respectful treatment throughout the organization and a work environment free from harassment, discrimination, and intimidation. The policy also establishes a protocol for handling potential complaints. To promote awareness of this protocol, a mandatory training course has been tailored for managers and recruitment teams, with the objective of mitigating legal risks and avoiding the possibility of reverse discrimination in decision-making and promotion processes. To this end, Ferrovial provides an online training program with more than 130 resources available, including content on unconscious bias, inclusive leadership, and other relevant aspects of inclusion.

Health & Safety
To mitigate the negative impacts on its workforce resulting from the transition to a greener and more climate-neutral economy, Ferrovial has adopted training and re-skilling programs that ensure employees acquire the necessary skills in a constantly evolving work environment. In 2025, a total of 293,432 hours of occupational health and safety training were provided. The Company offers support measures, such as career counseling, coaching, internal relocation, and early retirement plans, in situations of restructuring or downsizing. In recognition of the challenges posed by the transition to a climate-neutral economy, Ferrovial has adopted a number of mitigation measures to protect its workforce. In addition to training and retraining programs, Ferrovial offers job guarantees and individualized support in situations of change, ensuring the adaptation and resilience of its teams within a context of transformation.
Health, safety, and well-being (HSW) are fundamental values for Ferrovial and are monitored by the Board of Directors at each of the meetings held throughout the year.

This policy is implemented through the Health, Safety and Well-Being (HSW) Strategy, approved in December 2019 and extended until 2026. The strategy sets out the path to achieving the relevant objectives, focusing on operational excellence to improve Serious Injury and Fatality Prevention (SIF).

These initiatives reinforce Ferrovial’s position as a leading employer in its key markets and drive positive changes both within the organization and across society.

Ferrovial promotes an inclusive and participatory social dialogue environment in the European Economic Area (EEA), ensuring that its employees are represented at both the workplace and European levels. This commitment is reflected in the fact that 56% of its global workforce is covered by collective bargaining agreements. Employee representation is ensured by means of their participation in committees and negotiating tables, where key aspects such as working conditions, safety, and employee welfare are discussed and agreed. Ferrovial also facilitates ongoing communication between management and employee representatives at each workplace, ensuring that their concerns and suggestions are heard and addressed.

For Ferrovial, social partners are fundamental and always legitimate from a legal perspective, having been elected through electoral processes carried out by the workers they represent or belonging to trade union federations representing the sectors in which the Company operates. This structure ensures that employees’ voices are adequately represented and that their interests are effectively defended in negotiations and social dialogue processes, both at local and European level.
The Company operates in the Infrastructure/Industry sector, where the Collective Bargaining Agreement and Collective Agreements for Construction are particularly relevant, although the Metal and Water Agreements are also applicable depending on the activity carried out by the employees.
In Spain, 100% of construction workers are represented by trade unions. Even in cases where there are no Works Councils or workers’ representatives, workers are represented by Union Sections, which have set up a State Negotiating Committee. This level of representation ensures comprehensive coverage of workers and strengthens social dialogue in the country. Ferrovial is working to provide similar data on union representation in other EEA countries where it has a significant presence.
In addition, in 2025 employees represented in social dialogue processes in EEA countries (Spain and Poland) account for a total of 11,621 employees that represents 51.4% of total employees (37.8% in 2024). Furthermore, in 2025 employees represented in social dialogue processes in non-EEA countries (USA and Chile) account for a total of 509 employees that represents 2,25% of total employees (29.5% in 2024, this variation is due to the divestments in Chile).
At the European level, Ferrovial reinforces its commitment to worker representation through a Framework Agreement signed in 2012 with UGT FICA and the “Comisiones Obreras” trade unions, as well as with the International Trade Union Federation (ITUF). This agreement promotes the protection of labor rights in the construction and infrastructure sectors and guarantees a continuous democratic dialogue between the Company and workers’ representatives through collective bargaining. This framework also ensures that employee interests are aligned with international standards of labor representation and respect.
Outside the EEA, Ferrovial also maintains a high level of commitment to collective bargaining. However, more information should be provided on the percentage of employees covered by collective bargaining agreements in these regions, which will better reflect the global scope of its social dialogue initiatives.
In this way, Ferrovial reinforces its commitment to an inclusive work environment, backed by effective union representation and ongoing social dialogue that guarantees the well-being, safety, and rights of all its employees.
Ferrovial does not have a European Works Council. Each company or subsidiary that Ferrovial has in European countries has its own union representation. However, in the Construction division, the Company has signed an agreement with the International Trade Union Federation, the international union group (agreement attached) that promotes the development of unions in the Company’s sector and guarantees compliance with and safeguards workers’ rights.

Ferrovial reaffirms its commitment to ensuring that all its employees receive an adequate salary, in line with the relevant standards and benchmarks in each country in which it operates. This commitment is validated annually through an analysis based on data from the Living Wage Foundation, which assesses essential factors such as food, water supply, housing, transportation, clothing, healthcare, education, and tax payments, among others. The results of this analysis confirm that 99.61% of employees in the countries where the Company is most active Australia, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Germany, Poland, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Spain, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States—earn a wage above the living wage.
For the remaining 0.39%,– in Brazil, France, India, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Peru, Saudi Arabia, Slovakia and Tunisia –additional measures are being evaluated to further align remuneration with living wage benchmarks, reinforcing Ferrovial’s commitment to fair and competitive remuneration across all its operations.
Compliance in the European Economic Area (EEA)
In the EEA, Ferrovial ensures that remuneration complies with regulations in countries with a legal minimum wage. In cases where there is no established minimum wage, the lowest employee salary is compared with regional indicators and international standards, such as 60% of the national average wage and 50% of the average gross wage. These references comply with Directive (EU) 2022/2041 on adequate minimum wages in the European Union. Ferrovial also ensures that wages are above the living wage in all countries where it has significant operations.
In Spain, for example, the minimum wage in the construction sector is regulated by the minimum wage tables in provincial collective agreements and the General Agreement for the Sector. Ferrovial guarantees that, with specific exceptions and in the case of new hires with experience, the wages paid exceed these minimum wage tables.
Compliance outside the EEA
Outside the EEA, Ferrovial complies with local minimum wage legislation in all countries where it operates, ensuring that no employee receives less than the minimum wage established at the national or subnational level, whether by law or by collective bargaining agreements. In cases where there are no legal instruments or collective agreements regulating the minimum wage, the Company uses international reference indices. Ferrovial complies with the standards of the Sustainable Trade Initiative (STI) and the methodologies of the Wage Indicator Foundation and the Fair Wage Network.
These methodologies, such as the one developed by Anker, ensure that wages are adequate to cover the basic needs of employees and respect the principles of collective bargaining.
Methodology and guarantees
To ensure a consistent and transparent approach, Ferrovial uses internationally recognized methodologies, such as those provided by the Wage Indicator Foundation, which meet the criteria established in the Living Wage Roadmap initiative. These methodologies ensure that wages are adequate and in line with the principles of sustainability and employee well-being. Collective bargaining is also prioritized as a fundamental tool for establishing fair working conditions.
The General Act on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and their Social Inclusion (LGDPD, as per the Spanish acronym) establishes that persons with disabilities are those who have physical, cognitive, intellectual, or sensory impairments, which are likely to be permanent, and which, when interacting with various barriers, may prevent their full and effective participation in society, on an equal basis with others.
Following this provision, the LGDPD provides that, for all purposes, the following shall be considered persons with disabilities:
The number of employees as of December 31, 2025, with a disability was 172 (175 in 2024), representing 0.8% of the total workforce at the end of the period.
If an employee voluntarily decides to disclose their disability to the Company, they must provide a number of documents in order to be eligible for disability-related benefits. To be recognized as a person with a disability and manage the corresponding benefits, the employee must upload a certificate endorsed by an official body to the HR system, certifying that they have a disability.
For this purpose, Ferrovial provides employees with a global tool called Workday, which compiles detailed data related to the HR area. This tool consolidates data on all employees, allowing the extraction of consolidated or detailed information on each of them.
Ferrovial applies the phase-in approach this year exclusively over quantitative performance evaluation data. In 2025, employees completed a total of 593,314 training hours, reflecting the company’s continued commitment to professional development.

Frequency rate = number of accidents with sick leave*1,000,000/number of hours worked
Total recordable frequency rate = total recordable injuries*1,000,000/number of hours worked
Severity rate = number of days lost due to injuries*1,000/number of hours worked
Note: accident rate data are provided solely as ratios, as these provide a reliable representation of the Company's health and safety performance. Significant variations in the indicators shown are mainly due to the divestment processes undertaken by the Company over the last two years.
In order to respond to the breakdown of indicators by gender in S1-14, an estimate of hours worked has been made based on the gender distribution of the workforce, and the results are as follows:
| 2025 | ||
|---|---|---|
| Men | Woman | |

* The methodology used is the calculation of the median of the sum base salary annualized and the actual salary supplements. 96.40% of the workforce is covered.
The ratio between (i) the total annual remuneration of the executive with the highest total annual remuneration and (ii) the median annual remuneration of employees, whereby:

The sum of the Base Salary and Salary Supplements(*) equals salary. The formula used to calculate the gender pay gap is (Men's salary - Women's salary) / Men's salary.
With regard to the global gender pay gap, a shift in favor of men has been observed when comparing data from 2025 with that from 2024, in terms of the average. This is due in part to the inclusion of the Executive Committee, and the divestment of subsidiaries in Chile during 2025, which resulted in a change in the workforce profile. The sample included in the analysis represents 96.40% of the total workforce at the end of the period and covers employees in the countries most relevant to the Company's activities - Canada, Chile, Germany, Poland, Spain, United Kingdom and United States. The remaining 3.60% of the workforce corresponds to countries where the activity is not as important or where the number of employees per country is not significant. Within the population considered for the average salary, two individuals have not been classified as either female or male, since one of them identifies as nonbinary and the other one has not disclosed their gender.
(*) Salary supplements are considered to be additional remuneration to on top of the base salary that make up the salary structure. These amounts are related to the work performed by employees (such as night shifts, overtime, etc.), their personal or professional circumstances (e.g., language skills or productivity), or the Company's results (such as the annual variable). In the case of the annual variable, the actual variable compensation for 2025 has been taken into account, unlike in 2024, when the “target” variable compensation was considered.
Due to the methodological update carried out since 2024 in the reports to comply with the requirements of the CSRD, remuneration data has been recalculated using hourly wages instead of annual salaries.
The number of annual hours worked by gender has been estimated based on the total actual hours worked and the percentage of the workforce at year-end by gender.
S1-17: INCIDENTS, COMPLAINTS, AND SEVERE HUMAN RIGHTS IMPACTS
In 2025, the number of incidents or cases of discrimination, including harassment, reported through the Ethics Channel and other communication platforms affecting the Company’s own workforce is 50 (58 in 2024) of which 8 were cases of discrimination and 42 were cases of harassment. All of which have been investigated and solved or are currently under investigation. With respect to severe human rights incidents there have been no incidents of such type. Thus, no fines, penalties, or compensations have been recorded regarding such incidents and grievances. We have received 174 communications (123 in 2024) of other matters such as privacy data, conflict of interest, among others.
